Ok, so I finally broke open the pack of bacon cotton v2 and wicked up my coils with it. So far so good, didn't really taste anything funky after the second hit. It does seem to wick really well.

The real test will be when I start changing flavors out and how soon it starts gunking up. I have about 3 flavors I usually vape in the evening all of them pretty sweet 2 are custards. Mornings I switch to a frappuccino and cinnamon roll flavor and they don't always mix well with my evening vapes.

If it can last me a few days it might be worth the additional cost. It is about 4 times as much as I'm paying for my japanese cotton.

If you read the comments ... well everyone has a favorite. From personal experience cotton bacon 2 does NOT last the longest. Both native wicks and texas cotton are less likely to burn. And then we have rayon that tends to last fairly long. I find it is best to really soak the cotton and basically over drip when you just put it in. Cotton burns initially quicker if you vape it too high before you break it in. So on a regulated mod it is no issue. You simply set the watts lower. But I use primarily mechs. I just rewicked for my series mod. I really soaked the cotton two or three times before actually vaping on it. I just burned the juice off without the cap. And I made sure it never went completely dry.

Now I used to wick way too much. I chain vape and I burnt the cotton rather quickly on my mechs. So the cotton bacon 2 did not stand up to chain vaping that well. Sure it tastes okay but it does burn if you are not careful. So your personal vaping prefrences will have a lot to do with the best wicking material for you.
